  The Fade effect animates the <code>alpha</code> property of a component,
  either from transparent to opaque, or from opaque to transparent. 
  
  <p>If you specify the Fade effect for the <code>showEffect</code> 
  or <code>hideEffect</code> trigger, and if you omit values for the
  <code>alphaFrom</code> and <code>alphaTo</code> properties, 
  the effect automatically transitions <code>alpha</code> from 0
  to the target's current <code>alpha</code> value on a
  <code>showEffect</code> trigger, and from the target's current
  <code>alpha</code> value to 0 on a <code>hideEffect</code> trigger.</p> 
   <p><b>Note:</b> To use the Fade effect with text,
  you must use an embedded font, not a device font. </p>
